1913--1993.
Worked for three decades at Inco as a nickel metallurgist, a scientist, working on the refining
at Sudbury. Worked to reduce sulphur emissions-- for environment--and good for business. whoo!
Born in Coppercliff. Ontario. (that's a suburb of Sudbury--is where mining is?) Went to Italy. Went back to Canada. Went to Queens for Chem eng.
Worked for Brantford's lab briefly--joined Inco's refinery in 1937.
Worked on processes to refine nickel. Exciting. HAd no Cobalt.
Recovered mad nickel and cobalt--tied into WW2--where lots of cobalt was needed.
Back in Copper Cliff- kept doing more research there.
in 1960s' made a cleaner process that was then able to work at Inco's nickel mine at Thompson, Manitoba. Then it was put into Sudbury operation.
Helped improve Sudbury air.
Anecdote? "Recognized as the most knowledgeable scientist in the nickel refining business"
